Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de positionnement d'un satellite géostationnaire (1), comprenant :
- au moins quatre stations sol chacune étant de position connue et apte à envoyer vers le satellite (1) un signal dit signal montant,
- et des moyens de mesure des différences des temps d'arrivée au satellite des signaux montants.

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to a system for positioning a geostationary satellite (1), comprising:
at least four ground stations each having a known position and capable of sending to the satellite (1) a so-called rising signal,
and means for measuring the differences in the arrival times at the satellite of the upstream signals.
